When he hits seven years and 240 days in office across terms, Siddaramaiah is set to become Karnataka’s longest-serving chief minister on January 7, surpassing the record held by D Devaraj Urs. Crediting the milestone to the “blessings of the people”, he noted that Urs had served for seven years and 239 days. Siddaramaiah drew a parallel from cricket to politics, saying records are meant to be broken and likening his feat to Virat Kohli surpassing Sachin Tendulkar’s records. (HT_PRINT) Asked whether his record could be broken, Siddaramaiah said records are meant to be broken, drawing a sports analogy to compare his feat with Virat Kohli breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s records in cricket. “I never said that no one can break my record.
